kirkt Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 If you want to hear a good indie band from Hull check these out :www.myspace.com/thecityghosts features Greg from Freaks Union on guitar and they are amazing. Really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historicrocker Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 This thread could have been productive if you used a word like "mediocre" but everyone knows that when you have so little substance for debate to begin with, you can never get anywhere. What's the point anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point anyway?[/quote']The point is, The Paddingtons are all over the press and in the charts when they are bland and uninspiring. It annoys me when there is so many better bands from the same city that people could be checking out like Freaks Union, Silence in the Streets, Fonda 500, Swordface...and recently The City Ghosts have totally blown me away and I think people should be listening to them instead.

Sam_b Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Ahem.I've seen the Paddingtons 3 times now and I haven't seen such a band put so much energy into their music. Fair enough they may not be that tight a band but at least they can play their instruments with a degree of comptence (sid vicious, anyone?), and they have got good songs which are catchy. In my opinion they're one of the best new band sin Britain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
